But in 285 words, Donohue gloats the “witch-hunt has come to an end,” and claims “those who have been clamoring for blood lost big time.” Apparently, the fact that untold hundreds, maybe thousands of children in this priest’s parish, over decades upon decades, were raped, emotionally and sexually abused, had their innocence stolen, forever will live their lives changed by these atrocious acts escapades the 64-year old crusader for pedophile rights.

Instead of admitting the Msgr. William Lynn oversaw thousands of cases of abuse, and did little to nothing substantial to end the abuse and bring the perpetrators to justice, Donohue questions the methods of the Philadelphia prosecutor. And instead of admitting — or, even denying — the abuse took place, by men of God ordained to protect the innocent and powerless, Donohue points to a letter he wrote asking her “to identify which ‘religious organizations and denominations’ she pursued other than the Roman Catholic Church.”

In other words, Bill Donohue is effectively saying, “It’s OK, because every other religious institution rapes little boys and girls, too.”

No, Bill, today’s big losers, are the thousands of children who were raped, assaulted, and emotionally and tragically changed forever, because with one or one million convictions, they will never, ever, be made whole.

Those children and now, those adults, Bill, will forever be the losers.

"The jury was deadlocked on two charges" is a reminder that William Lynn was not pronounced innocent of anything; found guilty on one charge and a tie-vote away from being found guilty on the rest. And I hate to disappoint Billie-boy Donohue, but the hunt for justice is far from over; the Catholic Corporation is nowhere near being "in the clear" here or in other countries. I have faith that convictions on Conspiracy (if not on RICO charges) are in its future.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses have a policy within their religion that protects pedophiles.

The official policy is that the elders of the “Church” are supposed to handle the matter internally, without contacting the police. They do this so that shame will not be brought on the religion.

It’s important that they keep a squeaky clean image to the public. Remember they believe they are the only “True” religion and all other Christian Churches are under the control of Satan. JW’s are not supposed to sue other JW’s or involve the police or courts.

They believe these are Satan’s organizations and any crime by a JW should be dealt with internally.The elders will contact the police ONLY if they’re forced to by state law. Otherwise they are forced to follow official policy from headquarters. Some states require that “priests” or “pastors” report child abuse to the authorities. If they are not forced to report them than they cover it up.

How silly can Donahue get. The only reason that Lynn wasn't found guilty is that the jury didn't want to blame HIM for what his boss, Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua, was CLEARLY responsible.
Unless Cardinal Bevilacqua was wrong about his belief in HELL, death may have spared him from punishment on earth only to speed him to A MUCH WORSE FATE!
